    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Gerontology

    Background:

    • Large-scale brain magnetic resonance (MR) image databases demonstrate age-related morphological changes in brain tissues.
    • These changes suggest the potential for estimating a subject's age based on brain structure from MR images, particularly during healthy aging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and evaluate an automated age estimation method using local features extracted from T1-weighted MR images.
    • To identify and select optimal local brain regions that improve the accuracy of age estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized T1-weighted MR images from a Japanese database (n=1,146).
    • Defined local brain features based on tissue volumes within regions from the automated anatomical labeling atlas.
    • Implemented an optimal region selection strategy to enhance age estimation performance.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method demonstrated effective age estimation from T1-weighted MR images.
    • The selection of optimal local regions significantly improved the performance of age estimation.
    • Identified specific brain regions crucial for accurate age prediction.

    Conclusions:

    • Age estimation from brain MR images is feasible by analyzing age-related morphological changes.
    • The proposed method, utilizing localized features and optimal region selection, offers a promising approach for non-invasive age assessment.
    • The identified optimal regions may hold significant medical implications for understanding healthy brain aging.
